Outright
Gifts
Want to make an immediate impact on the
University campus, college, or program
of your choice? While cash
is the most often-used way to make an
outright gift, such gifts can be funded
in a variety
of ways.
Making an outright gift will meet your goals and make great
things happen at the U.
The Benefit to You
-
You can claim charitable deductions up to 50 percent
of your adjusted gross income for gifts of cash in the
year you make the gift. Excess deductions may be carried
over for up to five years.
-
You also may qualify for a match, which doubles, and
sometimes even triples the impact of your gift. Check
our online
directory to see if your company matches gifts to
the U.
